Taking the chance to show my ignorance :)
Here is my thinking. While adding cores along the length of a beverage may
make it appear electrically longer, how can that help its performance?
I'd think that the true mechanical length is what matters. Each inch/ foot/
meter of the wire is what "gather
I have installed a 253ft Bog,
I used WD-1A a pair and just twisted the two wires together.
Any reason I should separate the pair and just use a single wire?
Can the WD-1A be used for a Bi-directional BOG, or is the spacing too close?
I have installed a variable termination on the North end of
Hi Ron,
A short Beverage -- regardless of its velocity factor -- has the radiation
pattern of a short Beverage. You can't improve the performance
of a Beverage antenna by lowering its velocity factor. That's why
BOGs have a radiation pattern similar to an elevated Beverage of
the same length
Hi Mike,
Congratulations on your first post regarding BOGs. They're a great
antenna when stealth is the driving requirement, but here are better
choices when stealth isn't so important.
The front-to-back ratio of a BOG results mainly from its laying on the
ground. A signal arriving from t

A BOG is an excellent choice when stealth is the driving requirement,
otherwise arrays of short verticals provide significantly superior
performance compared to BOG or short Beverage occupying the same physical
space.

Hi Frank
Any particular reason you don't mentioned FLAG's, or EWE's?

Let me chime in here too,
I have a partial YCCC vertical array and two R-BOGs. Both of these RX
systems work well at my QTH. For the YCCC vertical array I used the 60 foot

The R-BOGs ( Reversible BOGs ) are around 2

That's for me is a very low performance. The good Horizontal Flag can dig
signals 22 db below the vertical TX array. A simple K9AY does what you
mentioned too.
I heard 316 countries on 160m last 10 years, t
I have been using the Hi-Z 3 element at 50 foot spacing that Lee designed.
I can tell you that the results for me were amazing and it gives you 6
directions. It works quite well on 40, 80 and 160. You can also find them
at DX Engineering.

Hi Mike et al,
BOGs have a well deserved reputation for being cantankerous, with great
results for K4ABCD over here and awful results for K3WXYZ over there. There
is a part of the explanation for that variation that really isn't fixable.
But better outcomes are possible with a more detailed explan
I had one, Pain in the butt to put up, works well, is directional but at my
site I’ve never been able to find a RX antenna that heard any better than my
inverted L. Including the SAL-30.
I’ve tried a K9AY, a BOG and no joy. I had a HI-Z 4Sq that I bought back when
you could buy them as a kit.

Look into a magnetic loop such as the design by N6RK as described in a past NCJ:

In my location the HI-Z 3 element worked
so well on 160 (and up) that I later
bought a HI-Z 8 element to use alongside

Both are invaluable and I'm keeping both.

Not to hijack the thread, but...
My Hi-Z Array works reasonably well in 160 (despite being only 40’ per side)
and very well on both 80 and 40. It has allowed me to work many countries on
80 and 160 I would not otherwise have been able to hear.
To me, it was worth the effort.
